Specification describing certain Improvements in Attaching Lamps, Founts, and Bowls to their Stands, invented by SAMUEL S. BAR- RIE, of the city, county, and State of New York.

The object of this invention is to provide a means whereby oil-reservoirs or founts, bowls, and like articles can be readily and firmly secured to their stands when either the fount or pedestal or both are of fragile material; and this invention consists in connecting a lamp, fount, or bowl to its pedestal by means ofan elastic nut or cushion, arranged within the pedestal, whereby a firm and substantial union of the parts is efl'ected.

Figure 1 is a central vertical section of a lamp, and Fig. 2 a similar section of a bowl illustrating this invention.

A designates (in Fig. 1) the oil-reservoir or (in Fig. 2) the bowl, provided with the peg D, upon which the screw-thread dis formed. The pedestal B is hollow,-broad at the base, and tapers rapidly upward to form the column b.

' The top of the column b is contracted to form a neck, a, and immediately above the neckis expanded to form the concave or trumpetmouthed base e, upon which the fount or bowl rests. An elastic nut, G, of rubber or equivalent material, is passed into the hollow pedestal and pressed into position beneath the neck a. Through the narrow orifice in the said neck the screw-threaded peg of the fount passes, preventing the displacement of the nut or ring when the parts are adjusted.

That portion of the pedestal above the neck a may be replaced by a metallic collar, if desired.

The two portions of the article being constructed as herein described, all that is necessaryin order to secure them togeth eris to screw the peg into the elastic nut contained within the pedestal, a strong and elastic connection being thus formed.

Having thus described my invention what 1
